こんなシチュエーション、お仕事でありませんか？
自然災害によって打ち合わせに一部の人間が参加できなくなったことを、取引先に伝えたい。
英文メールで「非常事態について連絡する」お手本を動画でチェック！
こちらの動画では、伝えるべきメッセージとニュアンスを書き手が考えているところから、以下の内容のメールを実際に英語で書く様子までをご覧いただけます。

シモンズさま、
お元気ですか？身近な方がタール火山噴火に影響されていないと良いのですが・・・
残念なことに、Yumiが現在マニラにおり、災害により飛び立てずにいます。数日前に帰国する予定でしたが、運航が再開されるまで待たなければなりません。
金曜日はYuheiと私のみ訪問させていただきます。お会いできるのを楽しみにしております。

今後の仕事での英語メールの参考になれば幸いです。

Hello everyone. Welcome to E-mail Picks. I'm sure you've heard the news about the
0:00:09.420,0:00:13.469
volcano Taal erupting in the
Philippines. The volcano is just one
0:00:13.469,0:00:18.180
hundred kilometers away from Manila and the ashes from the volcano have reached
0:00:18.180,0:00:23.210
almost the entire country, so
people need masks to breathe air and
0:00:23.210,0:00:28.199
businesses and schools have closed,
flights have been canceled. So
0:00:28.199,0:00:33.059
everything's muddy and gray,
covered in ashes. So I'm worried
0:00:33.059,0:00:37.890
about our colleagues in the Philippines.
But one of us was scheduled to fly back
0:00:37.890,0:00:43.260
to Tokyo this week. She went to the
Philippines for vacation, but her flight
0:00:43.260,0:00:48.360
was canceled and she was supposed to
visit a client with us when she got back.
0:00:48.360,0:00:53.640
But of course she can't now. so I thought
I'd write to the client to let them know
0:00:53.640,0:00:57.449
that one of us will not be able to
attend the next meeting with them. So here
0:00:57.449,0:01:02.910
goes. Dear Mr. Simmons, I hope you're
doing well and that no one around you
0:01:02.910,0:01:06.560
has been seriously affected by the
eruption of Taal.
0:01:06.560,0:01:11.130
Unfortunately Yumi will not be able to
attend our next meeting as she has been
0:01:11.130,0:01:15.180
grounded in Manila due to the crisis. She
was scheduled to fly back two days ago
0:01:15.180,0:01:20.159
but she will wait until flights resume.
It will be just Yuhei and i visiting
0:01:20.159,0:01:22.710
you this Friday. I look forward to seeing
you again,
0:01:22.710,0:01:27.540
Kyota. OK, so I tried to go into the
main point smoothly in the first
0:01:27.540,0:01:30.900
paragraph. I'm sure mr. Simmons has heard the news
0:01:30.900,0:01:35.250
so I didn't have to explain much. I went
straight into telling him how the
0:01:35.250,0:01:40.140
eruption will be affecting our meeting.
And in the last paragraph, to wrap the
0:01:40.140,0:01:45.299
e-mail up, I informed our clients that only
two guys will be visiting, which is a big
0:01:45.299,0:01:51.210
bummer, but if I don't provide this bad
news, the e-mail won't feel complete. But
0:01:51.210,0:01:54.990
again, the real bad news is the volcanic
eruption, so we will suck it up. So there
0:01:54.990,0:01:59.969
you go. An e-mail to communicate an
emergency. I know many people's lives are
0:01:59.969,0:02:05.070
affected by this volcanic eruption, so I
hope things get better very soon.
0:02:05.070,0:02:11.739
OK, so thank you for watching. I'll see
you next week.
